Independent Study
‘24-‘25 Independent Study Contract
Welcome to our independent study program! We're thrilled to have you on board for this personalized learning experience. To ensure a successful and enjoyable time, let's agree on some simple rules. Don't worry; they're not too strict—just enough to keep things organized and running smoothly. Let's get started:
Entrance Requirements: I will score at an 8th grade level on reading (and math if applicable) TABE assessment to be admitted into independent study.
Intensity: I will complete at least TWO (2) classes per term. I will be assigned ONE (1) class at a time to allow for complete focus.
Commitment to Learning: I agree to take responsibility for my learning journey and commit to making progress in the assigned coursework. Remember, this is about your growth and development!
Weekly Schedule: I’ll create a weekly study schedule, breaking down tasks and setting goals. Stick to it as much as possible, but don't stress over minor adjustments. Flexibility is key!
Communication: The communication lines are open! If I have any questions, need help, or want to discuss my progress, I will reach out to my teacher. We're here to support you.
Attendance and Progress Tracking: Even though this is independent study, I will have occasional check-ins to monitor my progress. I’ll participate in progress meetings and submit work regularly.
Academic Integrity: Honesty is the best policy! I’ll adhere to the highest standards of academic integrity. Plagiarism and cheating will result in the failure of my class.
Tech Requirements: I am responsible for having access to a computer or tablet with reliable internet connectivity. If I encounter any challenges or face technical difficulties, I will let my teacher know immediately.
Final Exams: I will take final exams and Constitution tests (if applicable) in person on the scheduled dates.
Accountability: If I am not successful in the independent study program, I will be required to attend in person.
By signing below, we acknowledge that we've read and agreed to these rules for our independent study program. Let's make the most of this opportunity to grow and excel!
